Re: We are not mocking the Cubs enough

The last time the Cubs won the World Series Football fields looked like this

During the early days following the introduction of the forward pass, longitudinal lines were added so that the field became a series of rectangles or squares. The football fathers of that time thought the forward pass was just a little too much of a good thing and so in an effort to limit the impact you could only pass the ball from your square to an ajoining one.
